New parents Jen Arnold and Bill Klein are overjoyed with the son with Dwarfism that they adopted from China and as they expose him to life with them they are aware that he will face the same struggles they did growing up.
The Little Couple’s Will goes to the park with his parents in this exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming episode of their hit reality show and he loves playing in the park on the equipment, but sometimes it’s hard for him.
“As a little person you find out there are a lot of things that are more difficult to do,” new dad Bill says about his son exploring the world.
“There’s a lot of things I think Will will have to adapt to. I don’t think he’s looking to hurt himself,” he says after the little boy falls down.
“He’s still learning how to walk without falling, he’s just starting to get comfortable with climbing and going up stairs. As times goes on I’m sure he’ll gain more confidence.”
Mommy Jen explains how they’re introducing Will to a regular life.
“I want to expose Will more and more to other kids so that he gets comfortable with kids his age.”
The Little Couple’s 100th episode airs on TLC Tuesday, August 13 at 10/9c.
